Trite details of my weekend

I went to see Napoleon Dynamite today. It was a fun, clean movie and I laughed a lot.

I also went to church, and then on an unplanned 2.5 hour hike up to Castle Craig starting from Hubbard Park. I found a driftwood walking staff along the talus I was hiking on. Without fail, if a trail seems to lead out of the way, I will take a "short-cut" even if it's bushwhacking. Eventually, my "short-cut" lead me to the scree along the water's edge. That's where I found the walking stick. The driftwood was very light, and smooth to the touch. When I was done with the hike, I leaned it against the marker at the trail head.

What I didn't do that I should have done was mow the lawn. I had ample opportunity to do it, but procrastinated and before I knew it darkness had fallen. I didn't mow last weekend either. And by the time I get home during the week, it's already dark. Fortunately, the grass isn't growing very quickly anymore, so this weekend I'll be able to hit it.

I tried to get lilo runnin properly, but for some reason the LiveCD I was using wouldn't recognise /dev/hda at all! It saw /dev/hdc, but that's just my DVD burner. So until I can get a LiveCD to recognise my hard drive, I'm in trouble. I did use an old Gentoo 1.4 LiveCD kicking around; perhaps a newer one wouldn't give me that trouble. I've never had that problem before. Here's the wierd thing: The LiveCD recognises /dev/hda, but when I chroot into /mnt/gentoo, /dev doesn't even list it!

I:
mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash

And that's it. Maybe I should look at the documentation again.
